Lovin My Locs Hair Services : Restructured Dreadlocks

 (3) Reorganized Work for Locs that are unkempt and need structure (Wild Locs)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
These kinds of locks are newly done or lightly matted.

Some clients may need professional help to get their locs reorganized.
These kinds of locs may have been done by yourself or someone else and they are poorly done.
The locs are unkempt, disorganized, has loose pieces of hair, and are various uncomfortable sizes. These kinds of locs may need to be pulled apart, restructured, and retouched at the root and ends.

For these hair situations, I charge the full starting price because it requires more time than a simple retouch.  The hair is taken apart anew and the locks are redone. It can be between 2hrs-10hrs depending on loc size and length.



Price: $150.00 (cash)

A History on DreadLocks

Dreadlocks, also called "locs" or "locks" or "ras" "or "dreads", are matted coils of hair. Dreadlocks are usually intentionally formed; because of the variety of different hair textures, various methods are used to encourage the formation of locks such as backcombing sections of the hair, twisting or a process involving the weaving of the hair with a crochet hook to form knots.

Dreadlocks are associated most closely with the Rastafari movement, but people from many groups in history before them have worn dreadlocks, including the Hindu Shiva worshippers of India and the Sufis Rafaees , the Maasai of East Africa, and the Sufis malangs and fakirs of Pakistan. Dreadlocks can represent a spiritual journey that is not just related to the Rastafari movement.

The first known examples of dreadlocks date back to North Africa. In ancient dynastic Egypt examples of Egyptians wearing locked hairstyles and wigs have appeared on bas-reliefs, statuary and other artifacts.[3] Mummified remains of ancient Egyptians with locks, as well as locked wigs, have also been recovered from archaeological sites.[4]

The Hindu deity Shiva and his followers were described in the scriptures as wearing "jaTaa", meaning "twisted locks of hair", probably derived from the Dravidian word "caTai", which means to twist or to wrap. The Greeks, the Pacific Ocean peoples, the Naga people and several ascetic groups within various major religions have at times worn their hair in locks, including the monks of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, the Nazirites of Judaism, Qalandari Sufi's the Sadhus of Hinduism, and the Dervishes of Islam among others. The very earliest Christians also may have worn this hairstyle. Particularly noteworthy are descriptions of James the Just, first Bishop of Jerusalem, who wore them to his ankles.

Pre-Columbian Aztec priests were described in Aztec codices (including the Durán Codex, the Codex Tudela and the Codex Mendoza) as wearing their hair untouched, allowing it to grow long and matted.

In Senegal, the Baye Fall, followers of the Mouride movement, a sect of Islam indigenous to the country which was founded in 1887 by Shaykh Aamadu Bàmba Mbàkke, are famous for growing locks and wearing multi-colored gowns.[7] Cheikh Ibra Fall, founder of the Baye Fall school of the Mouride Brotherhood, claims that he was "the first dread in West Africa".

A person with thick locks.In Jamaica the term dreadlocks was first recorded in the 1950s as a term for the "Young Black Faith", an early sect of the Rastafari which began among the marginalized poor of Jamaica in the 1930s, when they ceased to copy the particular hair style of Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia and began to wear dreadlocks instead.[citation needed] It was said that the wearer lived a "dread" life or a life in which he feared God, which gave birth to the modern name 'dreadlocks' for this ancient style.[citation needed]

Many Rastafari attribute their dreadlocks as a dedication to Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia as well as the three Nazarite vows, in the Book of Numbers, the fourth of the books of the Pentateuch.


Dreadlocks in history has been worn by a variety of people:
(1)Africans
(2)Buddhists
(3)Rastafarians
(4)African-Americans
(5)Priests and Priestesses
(6)Witches and Wizards

Spiritual Ways to Care for Your Locs

Spiritual Ways to Care for Your Locs


1. Make sure to allow your locs to breathe on the daily basis, if you wrap them alot. Let them get lots of sunshine and fresh air.


2. If you feel that your locs have dense lower energy in them or you have alot of lower energy in your crown chakra, then give your locs a sea salt water rinse. This will help you to release negative energy from that area.


3. Aim to keep your locs clean, beautiful, well-groomed, well-maintained, and full of love.

4. Be patient with growing your locs and spread that patience around in the other areas of your life.
